Simplify the spill weight calculation a bit by bypassing
getApproximateInstructionCount() and using LiveInterval::getSize() directly.
This changes the computed spill weights, but only by a constant factor in each
function. It should not affect how spill weights compare against each other, and
so it shouldn't affect code generation.

must be called in the pass's constructor. This function uses static dependency declarations to recursively initialize
the pass's dependencies.
Clients that only create passes through the createFooPass() APIs will require no changes. Clients that want to use the
CommandLine options for passes will need to manually call the appropriate initialization functions in PassInitialization.h
before parsing commandline arguments.
I have tested this with all standard configurations of clang and llvm-gcc on Darwin. It is possible that there are problems
with the static dependencies that will only be visible with non-standard options. If you encounter any crash in pass
registration/creation, please send the testcase to me directly.

When splitting a live range, the new registers have fewer uses and the
permissible register class may be less constrained. Recompute the register class
constraint from the uses of new registers created for a split. This may let them
be allocated from a larger set, possibly avoiding a spill.

register at a time. This turns out to be slightly faster than iterating over
instructions, but more importantly, it allows us to compute spill weights for
new registers created after the spill weight pass has run.
Also compute the allocation hint at the same time as the spill weight. This
allows us to use the spill weight as a cost metric for copies, and choose the
most profitable hint if there is more than one possibility.
The new hints provide a very small (< 0.1%) but universal code size improvement.
